Most Bible scholars take this to be a parallel prophecy. There really was a king of Tyre, and a lot of this pertains to him.
However, Ezekiel would have written this close to 4500 years after the flood. So it's very unlikely that the king of Tyre was the cherub (angel) in the garden.
Ezek 28:1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Ezek 28:2 "Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your heart is lifted up And you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods In the heart of the seas'; Yet you are a man and not God, Although you make your heart like the heart of God—
Ezek 28:3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is no secret that is a match for you.
Ezek 28:4 "By your wisdom and understanding You have acquired riches for yourself And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
Ezek 28:5 "By your great wisdom, by your trade You have increased your riches And your heart is lifted up because of your riches—
Ezek 28:6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have made your heart Like the heart of God,
Ezek 28:7 Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, The most ruthless of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor.
Ezek 28:8 'They will bring you down to the pit, And you will die the death of those who are slain In the heart of the seas.
Ezek 28:9 'Will you still say, "I am a god," In the presence of your slayer, Though you are a man and not God, In the hands of those who wound you?
Ezek 28:10 'You will die the death of the uncircumcised By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord GOD!"'"
Ezek 28:11 Again the word of the LORD came to me saying,
Ezek 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
Ezek 28:13 "You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.
Ezek 28:14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezek 28:15 "You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you.
Ezek 28:16 "By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezek 28:17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you.
Ezek 28:18 "By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you.
Ezek 28:19 "All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever."'"
Satan is a created being. He was once a "good angel" who rebelled and turned bad. Verse 16 says he was cast out of heaven. In Luke 10:18; Jesus says He saw this happen.
Isaiah 14 is similar. Another prophecy about the king of Babylon.
Isa 14:12; "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! (Lucifer) You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!
Isa 14:13; "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.
Isa 14:14; 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'
Isa 14:15; "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.
Isa 14:16; "Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,
Isa 14:17; Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'
It's very likely this being that will be locked in the pit, is the same being referenced in Rev 20:1-3;
Rev 20:1; Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2; And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
Rev 20:3; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
Isa 14:17; .. "did not allow his prisoners to go home"
Eph 4:8; Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."
Eph 4:9; Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10; He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.
I don't have time to really cover this here, and this thread is about God loving Satan anyway. But there was a place called Abrahams Bosom in Sheol.
The (dead) saints were being held there by Satan. But Jesus descended into the Earth and set them free. After He was crucified He said all authority in heaven and Earth has been given to me.
Now I'm the one with the keys to Hades. I'm the one who has the power to set them free. ( Rev 1:18; ) Matt 28:18;
